Overeem confirmed to guillotine or knee the shit out of Rogers May 15th

Heavyweight champ Alistair Overeem told MMAJunkie.com this afternoon that he will face Brett Rogers on Strikeforce's yet-to-be-announced May 15th event.

Although nothing has been confirmed, he is expecting to face the former Sam's Club tire repairman in a non-title affair.

"He's an excellent opponent," Overeem told the website. "I'm looking forward to [smacking] his face and his loud mouth. I'm really happy that Strikeforce came with this fight so now we can settle things once and for all."

Will fedor fans still call Bret a top ten fighter after he loses first round?

Rogers is a tough fighter and a top prospect, but hopefully we all realize that he wasn't at the top of the list of good Fedor opponents.

Though if the overeem thing happens and overeem wins with no issues in America, I think he solidifies himself as a big threat to Fedor. Overeem has looked outstanding in both k1 and MMA recently but there's no arguing that he hasn't faced the best of the best in the HW division (slim pickings outside UFC).
